Poetry: “Float”

I am looking at the blue skytrying to remember the hueswhen light reflected on your iris,if those were blue or deep green,like the Aegean and Dover.

We sat down one day,in a corner coffee shop,finding words to say, to appease ourselves that the oceans never separate us,

we would let our passion flow,floating, across the waters,neither reaching the shore,nor finding the edge

instead,it is only the black firmament,once filled to the brimnow empty.
